Risks & tensions

  • Proclamation mentions National Export Initiative target (double exports by end of 2014) but this is descriptive, not a new deadline imposed by this document
  • Interagency Trade Enforcement Center referenced as already created, not directed by this proclamation
  • Text is vague on whether 'encourage all Americans to observe' creates any actual obligation
